Governor Christie starts his week with a trip to Asbury Park today to talk shore policy — an end to last week’s seclusion as he worked on the speech he will deliver to Republicans in Tampa.

The governor, who learned last week he was not the pick for Mitt Romney’s presumptive vice-presidential candidate but will deliver the keynote address at the Republican National Convention late this month, had no public schedule last week but was reportedly readying his address.

Breaking his silence, Christie comes to Asbury Park today at 3 p.m., where he plans to talk about protecting the shore’s beaches and waterways as an environmental and recreational attraction. He will take questions from the press at 3 p.m., then will walk the beach and talk to beachgoers at around 3:30 p.m.
